As the second cup of tea was finished, the thick fog on the lake showed signs of dissipating.
"I've been talking about my things just now, can we talk about yours now?" Ye Shizhi asked with a smile.
"I don't think we are suitable for cooperation!" Dowling said firmly.
"Oh? Why?" Ye Zhizhi asked with a smile.
Dorian didn't reply, and neither did Qingdong.
Ye Zhiwen continued: "Do you think my methods are not honorable and that I am an evil person, right?"
Dorian nodded slightly.
"You are wrong. In fact, everything I do is just a part of cultivation. I help Phoenix eliminate karma and improve myself at the same time. As for taking the opportunity to absorb Phoenix's energy, what's wrong with that? It's just an ancient beast. You Do you think it’s something good?”
"Don't act so sanctimonious, you are too narrow-minded compared to me!"
"Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts. Are you really the Guards? Don't you just come here to use your status as Guards to force the Dayi Sect to give up control of the iron bridge and let the surrounding people Can I pass freely?"
"You think I am evil. You think you are doing good deeds and good people just because people can cross the bridge. I didn't explain my intention clearly. I just told you that I am absorbing the energy of the phoenix. You think I am a bad person, hahaha..."
"The Phoenix is a relative of you two? Do you care about it so much?"
"Please go back and read more ancient books and information to see what this ancient beast was like. If you can't find it, I can tell you something. Listen up, this beast once got angry. The fire burned three thousand miles, and all three thousand miles turned into scorched earth!"
"You judge the world based on your own pattern. Do you know how many people who look at evil are silently doing things for the world that only you can understand?"
"You think I'm not suitable to cooperate with you. Well, I'll tell you clearly now. I won't cooperate with these two short-sighted people. Get lost! You are not welcome here!" After that, Ye Wenzhidao directly poured the tea in front of him. The cup was buttoned up.
Dolin and Jijiu looked at each other and stood up in embarrassment.
"Then...Elder Ye...take your leave!" Daolin said, cupping his hands.
"No!" Ye Zhizhi said without raising his head.
Dolin took a deep look at him and walked down the mountain with Jijiu.
Daolin didn't speak on the way down the mountain. He was thinking carefully about Ye Zhizhi's words. He had indeed always had this problem. He had been like this when he questioned Qingyun in the imperial capital, and now there was something about Ye Zhizhi.
"Maybe I really shouldn't judge the right or wrong of a thing and the right or wrong of the person who does it based on its superficial appearance..." Dowling said softly.
"It's not your fault. The expression he showed before can indeed cause people to misunderstand. And he has been here for so many years, whether he is refining the karma eliminated by the Phoenix into a shadow, and then devouring the shadow to improve his cultivation, or is he really using This consumes the energy of the Phoenix. This is just what he said. We have not seen it, so..."
"So don't believe both things easily!"
Daolin nodded. He might indeed have misunderstood Ye Wuzhidao, but only he knew Ye Wuzhidao's true original intention.
"Keep an eye on him for a while longer!" Dolin said in confusion for a moment.
The two walked slowly down Cuishan. During this time, the thick fog on the lake had basically dissipated, and the clear lake water reflected sparkling waves.
"Huh? Where are the two of them?" Daolin suddenly saw that where they docked, Qiu Jin and Qiu Shui were gone, and the boat was already floating dozens of meters away, with no one on board.
"No! There won't be an accident!" Jijiu jumped out and was already in mid-air. He looked around and didn't see the two enemy brothers.
"Boss Qiu! Lao San Qiu!" Daolin also hurried to the shore and shouted, but the only response he received was the sound of the lake water lapping against the shore.
"Master!" At this moment, a man's head emerged from the lake, it was Qiu Shui.
Jijiu immediately saw it, and with a dive, Qiu Shui was lifted up and flew towards the shore.
Qiu Shui fell to the ground and gasped.
"What happened? Where is Boss Qiu?" Daolin knelt down, raised his hand and pressed Qiu Shui's back to use his internal power to bring luck to him.
Qiu Shui calmed down and pointed to the place where he came up and said: "My eldest brother and I were guarding the shore just now, but something suddenly came over. Before we could react, eldest brother was dragged to the boat. The boat seemed to be flying. He ran out..."
"When I saw this, I jumped into the water and chased him. When I got on the boat but didn't see my elder brother, I knew that he had been dragged into the water, so I quickly chased him..."
"There are many strange things under the water, which are as translucent as ghosts. They dragged my eldest brother and rushed towards the bottom of the water. I chased him for a long time. I estimate that I have to go down for more than a mile or two, and I can't catch up..."
"Swimming at high speed was a bit too much for me, and the water pressure made my chest feel uncomfortable, so I had no choice but to return..."
"Young Master... Master of alcoholism, you have to save my brother!" Qiu Shui begged with a sad face.
"You wait here, Jijiu and I will go down and take a look!" Dolin nodded, and without any further delay, he dived directly into the water.
Quit drinking followed suit and jumped into the water.
The water in Luofeng Lake was very clear, and the two of them rushed downwards like a torpedo.
As they went deeper, many transparent floating objects appeared inexplicably around them.
Daolin made a cautious gesture towards Jijiu, then directly used Thunderbolt, rushing downwards at an unimaginable speed.
The thunder and lightning power exploded, shaking away all the surrounding floating objects.
The alcohol withdrawal was also affected, and he felt his body was slightly numb. He had no choice but to release his true energy, and a dazzling Buddha's light protected his body, allowing him to pursue Daolin safely.
After descending for about three or four miles, Dolin felt that the lake was getting hotter and hotter. After diving a few hundred meters again, Dolin saw a protruding stone platform.
On the platform, Qiu Jin had stopped moving. A large group of dead souls were floating around him, sucking something in front of Qiu Jin.
Daolin was shocked and rushed over. With his arrival, the dead souls surrounding Qiu Jin suddenly rushed towards him like a pot exploding.
Dolin muttered a flash of light, and then three Dolin appeared in the water. The three Dolin used thunder at the same time. For a moment, a power grid appeared in the lake, covering all the dead souls.
The power of thunder and lightning trapped the dead souls in the middle. As Daolin continued to narrow the scope, many dead souls could not withstand the baptism of thunder and lightning and slowly dissipated.
Soon there were no more dead souls around. Daolin didn't dare to delay, for fear that Qiu Jin would hang here, so he grabbed Qiu Jin's clothes and rushed upward.
